I need a sub box for two twelve inch subs. Preferrably ported with 2.25-2.75 cubic feet per sub. Will consider sealed boxes with 1.5-2 cubic feet per sub as well. Cash or trade for sealed triple twelve inch box in mint condition.

that is a HUGE box! 5 cu ft???

Yup, I've used both. Had a ported enclosure for 4 years. I've had a sealed box since December and found that I prefer ported enclosures.

the box is 14in deep X 38in. wide X 18in tall.

the ports are 12in. deep x 4in wide.

I'm gonna rip out my box tonight to measure the trunk. I think 38 inches will be too wide though. The box I have now is about 32-34 inches wide at barely fits.

[Guest]

and what kinda subs are you using?

haha well i think he's old enough to sit in the front seat......you should check the specs on them subs for the right size of ported box...if its to big for them...they wont sound to good.....you can always cut off some of the port to tune it.

.

If my measurements are correct a box that is 14 inches x 18 inches x 38 inches (externally) is 4.925 cubic feet. this is the volume of the outside of the box, not including the thickness of the mdf. So, at a guess, the internal volume of the box is 4.5....Divide that by 2(2 subs)=2.25 internal cubic feet per sub....right in the recommended range for ported box using the subs I have.

[Guest]

well perfect then! - im glad your good at math! haha

[PSiedTSi]

you also have to remember the displacement of the subs and the ports...subtract that from the overall volume...and if its 3/4'' MDF subtract that from all the sides and from the divider that will go in the center as well...
